The 1946 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 64th season in the history of the franchise.
Offseason
- Prior to the 1946 season: Stan Lopata was signed as an amateur free agent by the Phillies.
Preseason
The Phillies held spring training in Miami Beach, Florida, returning to Flamingo Field where the team had trained from 1940 to 1942 before World War II travel restrictions kept teams close to home. The team stayed at the Boulevard Hotel at the corner of Dade Boulevard and Meridian Avenue.
The Phillies held minor league camp in Dover, Delaware.
Regular season
For the first time in the 1946 season, the Philadelphia Phillies used airplanes to travel between cities during the regular season. The Phillies chartered two planes and returned to Philadelphia from Chicago following the scheduled June 12 game against the Cubs.
In June 1946, the Cleveland American League club was sold to Bill Veeck and a note appeared in the Sporting News that the team was considering a spring training move to Tucson, Arizona for 1947.
Paul Ficht, secretary of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce, along with Mayor J.C. House, and city manager F.L. Hendrix spoke with the St. Louis Browns, Newark Bears, Kansas City Blues, and Phillies about training in Clearwater in 1947. On July 27, 1946, Hendrix announced that the Phillies had accepted Clearwater's invitation to train at Clearwater Athletic Field in 1947 on a one-year agreement.
